第二节:英国卫报就教育问题在其网站上组织了一次讨论,其中Jesica、Bernal、Stevens、Carlos与lnersoll的观点颇具代表性。第61—65题是他们各自的观点。阅读下面发表在the Guardians网站上的6段留言(A、B、C、D、E和F),选择与其观点一致的表述,并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

61.Stevens blames the modern methods of teaching for the deafening noise in primary schools.

62.Jessica holds the view that it’s shameful that the investment in education has not achieved the expected results.

63.Ingersoll believes that education should be assessed from the students’ aspect and that how much they enjoy is what counts most.

64.Carlos thinks that in terms of education, students’ own willingness to learn really matters.

65.Bernal thinks the standard of education has made significant progress though we may not see plenty of obvious sings of it.

A

I think it’s a great shame that people don’t learn anything today. I mean, good heavens, when you think of all the millions of pounds the Government have spent on education—new schools, more teachers, new equipment. And yet still you find people who can’t read properly, can’t even write their names and don’t know what two and two is without a calculator. I think it’s downright disgraceful. I remember when I was young you went to school to learn. You did as you were told and respected your teachers. Nowadays you get long-haired kids who aren’t interested in anything. No wonder they don’t learn anything.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

  Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly line life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?

Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.

In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.

A. in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere

B. it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the river
